Serial ATA is the next generation storage interface. With the trend towards smaller footprint PCs, this thin & flexible premium cable will free much needed space within the CPU, improve airflow and reduce overheating. Optimized for internal storage and with 3GB transfer rate, it is faster than the current UltraIDE's speed of 133MBps. Serial ATA features Hot Plug capability, low power consumption, point-to-point connection for easy installation & configuration, and longer cables up to one meter. .
